1992:
Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Edmund Grey returned to his childhood
hometown to unlock the mystery behind the murder of Will Cortlandt. He
had a hard time cracking the story because almost everyone he met had
a motive to kill Will. One person whom he learned to trust was his fellow
journalist, Brooke English. Their collaboration went beyond the story
and into the bedroom. Edmund also befriended Brooke’s aunt, Phoebe
Wallingford. For once, Phoebe actually agreed with her niece’s romantic
choice.
Edmund soon revealed he had ulterior motives for staying in Pine Valley.
He had discovered Hugo Marick’s will that said he was in fact his
son. Edmund took the claim to his childhood friend, Angelique Marick.
Angelique chalked up Edmund’s claim as a projection of the rivalry
that Edmund shared with Hugo’s son, Dimitri Marick. Edmund was the
child of Wildwind’s servants, while Dimitri was the master of the
castle. But Edmund wanted to know more. He searched for Hugo’s will,
which had gone missing. Edmund’s obsessive attitude put off Angelique,
and almost drove Brooke away.Edmund
followed the Maricks to Vadzel, the Marick ancestral home in Hungary.
There, he took Dimitri’s latest girlfriend, Erica Kane, hostage.
Erica became Edmund’s accomplice when she caught Angeliqe and Dimitri
in an embrace. They realized the culprit behind the missing will was Helga,
Angelique’s mother. Dimitri and Edmund confronted Helga on a turret.
Helga revealed when Edmund had long thought was true: he was Hugo’s
son. Then, Helga threw herself over the edge to her death.
Returning to Pine Valley, Dimitri began to accept Edmund as his brother.
He gave Edmund Wildwind as reparation for the lies both men had to endure.

1993:
Edmund was finally happy with his relationship with Brooke. But the sudden
reappearance of Tad Martin compromised their happiness. Tad was the father
of Brooke’s son, Jamie Martin. Brooke had long thought Tad to be
dead. Brooke realized that she finally had a chance to give her son a
normal life. She broke-up with Edmund so that she could marry Tad. Heartbroken,
Edmund went to a bar. There he met neurologist Maria Santos and they struck
up an instant romance.
Edmund and Brooke continued their professional relationship. They needed
Phoebe’s help to uncover a retirement scam. Edmund posed as Phoebe
gigolo so that they could invest in the alleged condominium units that
were to be built in Willow Lake Acres. When Brooke went to the supposed
location, all she found was a swamp. Brooke began sinking into the quicksand.
Edmund arrived in time to save her.
Edmund and Maria began spending a lot of time together. It was not long
before Edmund asked Maria to marry him.

1994:
Brooke went missing. Tad revealed Brooke was going through a dangerous
pregnancy. Faced with the thought of loosing a child, she went on the
run with Jamie. Tad waited anxiously for a call. But, Brooke turned to
Edmund. He talked her into returning to Pine Valley to undergo a risky
surgery in hopes of saving the child.
Maria worried about Edmund’s devotion to Brooke. Edmund assured
Maria that he only loved her. Edmund’s relationship with Brooke
was something different. Edmund and Maria married in a traditional catholic
wedding. Edmund opened Wildwind to all of Maria’s family who decided
to move to Pine Valley.
While on their honeymoon in Vadzel, Edmund discovered private letters
from Corvina Lang. They alleged that Dimitri’s new ward, Anton Lang,
was in fact Dimitri’s son.
Edmund’s investigation into Matt Callaway was not yet complete.
Matt had hired someone to kill Edmund. When his car exploded, Edmund saw
this as the perfect opportunity to go undercover. He allowed his family
to believe he was dead to complete his investigation. Edmund revealed
he was alive the night of his funeral at Wildwind. Everyone was relieved
to see Edmund alive. Everyone that is, but Maria. She felt betrayed by
her husband, and moved out of Wildwind.

1995:
Edmund and Maria were stranded in the stables during a snowstorm. Maria
was forced to address her insecurities. Edmund assured that he loved Maria
and no one else. Edmund promised to never lie to her again. That night,
they made love.
Maria confided in Edmund her college love affair with Del Henry. She had
become pregnant with his child. Fearful of her parent’s reaction,
Maria had an abortion. But the procedure left her unable to have children.
Edmund and Maria were resolved to adopt. Anita Santos set the Greys up
with teen mother Kelsey Jefferson. Kelsey was looking to put her child
up for adoption. Edmund had hesitations of adopting a child from a prominent
Pine Valley family. The Greys invited Kelsey to move into Wildwind to
await the baby’s birth.
Wildwind became a little too crowded for comfort. Julia Santos took refuge
at Wildwind to deal with the release of her rapist, Louie Greco. But it
was the newest Mrs. Marick, Erica, that caused the most drama. Maria and
Erica were constantly at odds with each other. Dimitri decided to move
to the Linden House with his new wife.

1996:
Edmund and Maria went ahead with their plans to adopt Kelsey’s baby.
She gave birth to Samuel Carlos Grey. Edmund let Kelsey remain at Wildwind
to nurse Sam. But it was obvious that Kelsey had other intentions. Over
the last year, she had harbored a crush on Edmund.
Edmund and Maria threw a lavish wedding for Julia and Noah Keefer. At
the reception, Kelsey caught Anita in the arms of Bobby Warner. Kelsey
revealed Bobby was Sam’s father. In a jealous rage, Kelsey asked
the Grey’s for Sam back. Maria tried to go on the run with Sam.
Edmund stopped her at the airport. As much as it hurt him, Edmund knew
it was Kelsey’s right to keep Sam. Maria felt betrayed by Edmund,
and left him.
Kelsey agreed to return Sam to the Greys. Maria and Edmund found their
way back to each other. At Christmas time, Maria revealed she was now
pregnant.

1997:
Maria admitted to Edmund that she had an affair with Dimitri and was now
unsure if her unborn child was Edmund’s, or her brothers. A test
would prove that Dimitri was the father. Edmund needed time to process
the information. He left Wildwind to be alone with his thoughts. Instead,
he found Skye Chandler, who was more than willing to be his listening
ear.
Maria supposedly lost their child in a car accident during a torrid storm.
Maria and Edmund grieved for their child. Really, the child was very much
alive and living in Wildwind. Erica had found the child and was attempting
to pass her off as her own adopted daughter, Sonya Kane. Filled with guilt
for what she had done, Erica gave the child back to the Greys. They named
her Madelyn Flora Grey, after Edmund’s mother.
Edmund’s life was turned upside down when Maria died in a plane
crash. Edmund’s hearing was severely impaired in the same crash.
He had a hard time coming to terms with Maria’s death and his own
handicap. Dimitri decided to leave Wildwind with Madelyn to protect her
from Edmund. Edmund’s depression turned around when Skye revealed
a startling truth: Edmund was Madelyn’s father, not Dimitri. Skye
had switched the original paternity test. Armed with a court order, Edmund,
with the help of Tad Martin, snuck into Hungary dressed as women to confront
Dimitri. Faced with the truth, Edmund reluctantly gave Edmund his daughter.Mateo
Santos revealed that Adam’ Chandler Industries had demanded the
cost cuts that could have lead to the mechanical failures at TransGlobal
Airlines. As a settlement, Adam offered Brooke and Edmund full ownership
of Tempo Magazine. Brooke wanted to bring Jim Thomasen, the hero at the
crash sight, into the deal, but Edmund wanted to know more about Jim’s
past. An investigation revealed that their had been a bomb onboard Flight
149, clearing Adam for the crash.
Edmund began planning the first Crystal Ball in honor of Maria’s
memory. He invited Dimitri back to Wildwind for the event as a sign of
good faith.

1998:
Dimitri confronted Edmund and Tad at gunpoint at the first Crystal Ball.
Dimitri was irrational and determined to hurt Edmund. Gloria intervened
and convinced Dimitri to stop. In the storm, a tree branch fell on Dimitri.
He fell into a coma.
Edmund’s investigation into Brooke’s friend Jim Thomasen revealed
that he was not the hero of Flight 149; rather, he was the culprit. Armed
with evidence that Jim had brought a bomb onboard, Edmund was going to
report him to authorities. But, Jim intervened. He threw Edmund into the
Wildwind aqueduct, leaving Edmund to drown.
It was Dimitri who would discover Edmund. He jumped in to help Edmund,
but found himself stuck too. Trapped and near death, the brothers reconciled
over the last year’s ordeals. Dimitri helped a hurt Edmund treed
water until they were rescued. At the hospital, Edmund had a vision of
Maria telling him to live for their children.
Edmund recovered and opened Wildwind to his extended family. He befriended
Kit Fisher, a woman claiming to be Jackson Montgomery’s sister.
Kit’s integrity was already in question when she accused Ryan Lavery
of rape. Edmund wanted to help Kit get whatever closure she needed.

1999:
Edmund stood by Kit’s side as Ryan went to trial for her rape. Braden
Lavery, Ryan’s older brother, came forward confessing that he and
Kit had consensual sex the night of her alleged rape. Jackson was unable
to secure another indictment. Jackson finally acquiesced to a DNA test,
proving Kit was his sister.
Dimitri had spent most of the year in Europe. He told Edmund that he was
coming back with some good news. Instead, Dimitri died of a brain aneurism
on the plane. At the hospital, Dimitri’s doctor revealed she to
be something more. She was Dr. Alex Devane Marick, Dimitri’s new
wife.
Edmund was weary of Alex. He was sure that she had a role in Dimitri’s
death. Alex tried to assure him that her intentions for Dimitri were true.
It did not help that Dr. David Hayward accused Alex to be a murderer.
Edmund’s investigation forced Alex to admit the truth to Edmund.
Dimitri was still alive and undergoing treatment for a degenerative disease.
With no recovery in site, he wanted to fake his death so that his family
did not have to watch him suffer. Dimitri and Edmund were reunited at
his hospital. But, when his latest round of treatment failed, Dimitri
took it on himself to commit suicide.
Edmund and Alex mourned Dimitri’s passing. Alex began to be haunted
by intense flashes of memories. She admitted to living most of her life
as an amnesiac. Edmund promised to help her get to the bottom of her traumas.

2000:
Edmund learned Alex’s medical record in Wales had been sealed by
the government. Edmund went on a trip to Brynn Wydd, a hospital where
Alex spent time as a pattient. He was taken captive at the fake hospital.
A woman named Charlotte Devane rescued him. Charlotte was revealed to
be Alex’s mother. Edmund brought her back to Pine Valley hoping
she could fill them in on Alex’s past.
Upon meeting Charlotte, Alex began to have memory flashes about her past.
Dimitri reappeared at Wildwind to Edmund. Dimitri told Edmund that Charlotte
was a crime lord, not Alex’s mother. Really, she wanted Alex dead.
Edmund asked Dimitri to help him, but he was still sure he was dying.
Edmund did not have the heart to tell Dimitri that he had fallen in love
with Alex.
Edmund and Adrian Sword put together a plot to incriminate Charlotte.
She revealed Alex was the twin sister of world famous spy, Anna Devane.
She was trained to kill Anna by Charlotte’s organization. When she
failed, Alex was taken into custody by the government and her memory was
erased. Charlotte was taken into federal custody.Edmund
proposed to Alex and she accepted. Edmund was torn between his love for
Alex and his loyalty to his brother. David Hayward was able to cure Dimitri.
He came back to Alex. Edmund stepped aside so that his brother and wife
and could reunite.
Alex went missing on the night of IncredibleDreams.com’s launch
party. Dimitri thought Edmund had a role in it and had him committed to
Oak Haven. Brooke intervened and mediated the brother’s conflict.
After being released, Edmund and Dimitri teamed up to find Alex together.

2001:
Edmund and Dimitri began their search for Alex. Sam kept on claiming that
he had spoken to Alex on the phone, but Edmund did not believe him. That
was until Edmund witnessed Sam pick up the phone and speak to her. Alex
told them not to find her. Edmund was able to trace the call to Canada.
The brothers found Alex, alive, treating a very special patient: her twin
sister Anna. They transported Anna to Pine Valley for more treatment.
Anne’s presence brought more threats from Charlotte’s organization.
An assassin shot Gillian in the head thinking she was Anna. Edmund became
protective of his new guest. Brooke interpreted this as Edmund having
feelings for her. Brooke admitted to Edmund that she still had feelings
for him. Edmund told her the feelings were mutual.
Mateo turned to Edmund for help when a drug lord named Proteus approached
him about using SOS as a cover for her drug ring. Mateo worried about
his family’s welfare. Edmund told Mateo to go along with Proteus’
demands while he started an investigation into Proteus. He hired intrepid
reporter Simone Torres to act as their go between so as to not arise any
suspicion about his involvement. The case brought Brooke and Edmund together.

2002:
Edmund quickly proposed to Brooke after their romantic reunion at the
Crystal Ball. Edmund wanted to hold off the ceremony until the conclusion
of the Proteus investigation. Jamie was hesitant to accept Edmund as his
new father. He wanted Brooke to reunite with Tad. Edmund worried that
Brooke still had feelings for Tad.
Brooke and Edmund’s wedding went off without a hitch. But Maddie
made mention of seeing her “Angel Mommy.” Brooke was moved
by her words. Brooke revealed that she had real suspicions that Maria
was alive. At that moment, Maria appeared at the chapel.
Maria had been living the last five years of her life as an amnesiac,
Maureen Gorman, in Las Vegas. David had saved Maria’s life after
the plan crash with an experimental drug that wiped her memory clean.
Edmund offered Maria a place to stay in Wildwind, hoping her memories
would return. Edmund was jealous of Maria’s romance with Aidan Devane.
He begged David to help Maria remember her past. He gave Edmund a second
experimental drug.
When Maria found out that Edmund had secretly drugged her, she left Wildwind.

2003:
Edmund tried to come to grips with the end of his marriage. He began to
see Mia Saunders casually.
Maddie was the only witness of Chris’s murder at Wildwind. Maria
and Aidan took Maddie to their boat to protect her. When their boat exploded,
Maria desperately searched for Maddie in the ocean debris. The trauma
of the situation sparked Maria’s memory to return. Edmund immediately
recognized what something had changed. Maria moved back to Wildwind to
be with her husband and family.
Edmund supported Maria as she tested to get her medical license back.
Maria rethought her career plans when her first patient, Carlos Reyes,
died of complications from injuries he sustained in a car accident. Edmund
suspected foul play. He learned Carlos was the target of a mob hit from
the Argentinean Calvatras family. Edmund approached Carlos’ brother,
Juan Pablo deVasquez, with an offer of protection.

2004:
Juan Pablo called Edmund to his cabin after the Calvatras infiltrated
the Wildwind security. Edmund told Maria to stay at Wildwind, but she
needed to make sure Edmund was safe. One of the goons took Maria hostage.
Edmund rescued his wife, but not before he was shot in the back.
When Edmund awoke from his coma, he was paralyzed from the waist down.
Edmund was frustrated with the prospect of never walking again. He began
researching experimental surgeries. Maria did not want Edmund to get his
hopes up. Nothing reversed the paralysis.
At the same time, another person from Maria’s past as Maureen came
to Pine Valley. Zach Slater was Maureen’s former lover. Edmund worried
that Maria was hiding something after she failed to tell him about Zach,
or his true identity as the late Cambias heir. He surprisingly turned
to Aidan to help him investigate into Zach’s past. Edmund had gotten
a strange phone call stating someone in Pine Valley was going to die.
When Ryan Lavery was shot, Edmund implicated Zach in the intended murder
because Ryan was the new Cambias heir.
Edmund finally gave Maria an ultimatum: Zach or their marriage. Maria
maintained she would not see Zach again. When Edmund found out that they
were meeting in secret, he initiated divorce proceedings.

2005: Edmund was determined to implicate Zach in Ryan’s
shooting. He even went so far as to bribe Bobby into claiming he saw Zach
commit the crime. Edmund agreed to meet another informant at the Wildwind
barn. It turned out to be the real culprit, Jonathan Lavery. Jonathan
took a shovel and bludgeoned Edmund to death. He then set the barn on
fire to destroy the evidence of the crime.
Zach discovered Edmund and rescued him. But the blunt force trauma was
too extensive. Edmund died on Maria’s operating table.
